Allen & Heath Releases New Zed Mixer

Allen & Heath Releases New Zed Mixer -

Allen & Heath has launched the ZED60-14FX, a highly compact
analogue mixer that is ideal for small bands and venues. ZED60-14FX
is a companion to the ZED60-10FX launched earlier this year,
employing the same high quality 60mm faders but with the addition
of an extra 4 mono/mic channels.

Two of the 8 mono channels have high impedance jack inputs that
can take a normal line level or a low level input from a guitar
pickup, so guitars can be plugged straight into the mixer without
the need for DI boxes. These inputs have been crafted to recreate
the sound of a classic tube preamp in a combo or head amp for
incredible definition and warmth. Two stereo inputs are provided
for MP3/CD players or keyboards.

The ZED60-14FX also comes with configurable USB audio in/out,
making it easy to capture a stereo recording at the gig or in the
studio. The mixer is equipped with professional XLR main stereo
outputs, a flexible monitoring section with headphone and speaker
feed outputs, and 16 high quality digital effects.

Allen & Heath designer, Mike Griffin, explains:

"We designed the ZED-60 mixers to complement the very popular
ZED-10FX which is a super-compact but professional standard mixer
with rotary faders. The ZED-60 models incorporate additional
channel mute switches and 60mm faders making them great to use for
dynamic mixing but still retaining their diminutive size. The
ZED60-14FX takes it one step further - with 8 mono channels, 2
stereo channels and our renowned in-house designed effects, it's a
very useful piece of kit indeed."
